Description
Bus transportation will take us to the Itabaca Channel, where the Galaxy Daily will be waiting for us. We will arrive at North Seymour, have a dry landing, and then immediately begin hiking on a 2.5 km (1.55 miles) track where we can either hike counterclockwise along the coast or first walk inland to see the booby colony. Prepare to see marine and land iguanas, a colony of sea lions, lava lizards, frigates, and pelicans, among other wildlife!
After, we will go to the beach known as Bachas, located north of Santa Cruz Island. Here we can snorkel or take a relaxing walk on the beach. For this, we will make a wet landing, in which we will jump from the panga to the shore of the beach. Again, we recommend disembarking barefoot and wearing light walking shoes for the rest of the journey. The saltwater lagoon behind the beach often has great blue herons and small birds. Both beaches are nesting areas for green sea turtles.
